It's more like a seamless transition from one to the other.
But, ever since I got my stuffed pig, I use my Rollei or my M cameras

All due to its metering, while maybe not as advanced as some, is more
than enough to tackle the most merciless lighting conditions. And I
don't mean shooting into the sun to prove some inanity. 
The built-in flash meter alone is worth its weight in gold.
